Roquefort is a popular French cheese, reported to be a favourite of Emperor Charlemagne. In France, it is called the ‘cheese of kings and popes’. This cheese is protected by AOC guidelines. Roquefort cheese is moist and breaks into little pieces easily. Genuine Roquefort is rich, creamy and sharp, tangy, salty in flavour. It is aged for 5 months. It is also mostly used in salads and dressings.
Recommended Pairings:
Partner with a green salad and dried fruits, also great with hearty bread with nuts or fruit. Pair with a white French wine, such as Chablis to enjoy the roquefort taste at its best.
